Consider the drying operation shown in the figure below for a solid loading (dry basis) of 50 kg/m2 with a constant drying rate of 5 kg/m2. The falling rate of drying is linear with moisture content.
The drying time (in hrs) required to reduce an initial moisture content of 25% to a final moisture content of 2% is
The drying time (in hrs) required to reduce an initial moisture content of 25% to a final moisture content of 2% is
Correct : c
